Right now I log the clients like so and it works the way it should:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>destination d_remotehosts {<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> file( "/var/log/HOSTS/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/$HOST/$FACILITY.log" perm( 0644 ) create_dirs( yes ) dir_perm( 0755 ) );<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>};<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>However, it is not as helpful when multiple remote clients get recognized as $HOST = 192.168.x.x. Since most remote clients are IP phones, logging using the MAC address instead of the IP address would be much more valuable, but I don’t see in the manual where that’s possible. Is it possible to log using the MAC address? Any insight at all would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks;<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>John <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=left style='text-align:left'><i><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Bradley Hand ITC";color:#1F497D'>Tech Support<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal align=left style='text-align:left'><span style='color:#1F497D'>Tech Support</span><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=left style='text-align:left'><span style='color:#1F497D'>VoIP Business Solutions<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=left style='text-align:left'><span style='color:#1F497D'>240-215-3479 x325<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=left style='text-align:left'><span style='color:#1F497D'><a href="mailto:fsd@voipbusiness.us"><span style='color:blue'>support@voipbusiness.us</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
